01
Handles purchase requisition automation from request to approval.
AI workflow
automation for
procurement intake
and requisitions
Every request arrives complete, checked against policy, and already routed to the right approver, so your buyers stop triaging inboxes and get back to sourcing.
What is the Intake Workflow Agent?
The Intake Workflow Agent is the AI workflow automation capability built into Procbay.
Working as the requisition management layer, it captures demand from any team or channel, classifies and enriches each purchase request, and drives it through automated approval routing — so procurement process automation starts at the very first step.
02
Applies approval workflow software logic across value, category, policy, and risk.
03
Turns unstructured intake into structured, routed requests.
Key value for CIOs, CFOs, and procurement leaders.
Faster cycle times
Automated intake and approval routing remove the inbox delays that stall procurement.
